"Praying mantises are cruel creatures. In order to replenish their energy, female mantises will attract male mantises to mate and then eat them." Zhao Ke looked at Dongzi and said quietly.
Dongzi looked at Zhao Ke for a moment, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
"Why are you suddenly telling me about Mantis?" Dongzi asked Zhao Ke.
"Don't you want to know who is pretending to be my cousin?"
Zhao Ke's eyes flashed with sadness and hatred, "She is my master's wife, Zhou Ying."
"Ah?" Dongzi's eyes widened, looking at Zhao Ke like he was looking at a monster.
Zhao Ke took a long puff of cigarette and smiled sadly.
"You mean, Zhou Ying ate Old Mrs. Chen like a praying mantis?" Dongzi's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
This time, Zhao Ke ignored Dongzi and looked at a certain point deep in the woods with infinite sadness. His whole body was like a stone sculpture, as if his soul had already left the body and drifted to nowhere.
"Mr. Chen is my cousin in front of others, but in fact he is Xiaocui and I's master."
After a long time, Zhao Ke spoke softly to Dongzi.
Mr. Chen's name is Chen Chaoran, and he is the chief Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
As his name suggests, Chen Chaoran is a very smart and outstanding Celestial Master. He has become famous all over the world at a very young age. Anyone who has seen the world of Feng Shui and psychics will all admire and praise Chen Chaoran when they mention him.
of.
It's a pity that his background is not very good. He is a mountain boy who came from western Sichuan, and he did not come from a famous family.
Back then, water from the Styx River in western Sichuan leaked, opening the door to hell. Earthquakes, landslides, and plague turned the entire western Sichuan into a hell on earth overnight.
Some bloody Taoist Feng Shui psychic disciples from various places all rushed to Western Sichuan, just to save a few more lives, to save a few more souls, to divert the water of the Styx River inward as soon as possible, and to close the gate of hell.
Zhou Ying also went to western Sichuan as the daughter of the chief Celestial Master of Tianshi Mansion.
After a catastrophe, countless lives were lost, but several Feng Shui psychics became famous all over the world.
The scholar in the east is Chen in the west, the epiphyllum in the south is white in the north.
In this ballad that was widely circulated among Feng Shui psychics at that time, "Xibian Chen" refers to Chen Chaoran from western Sichuan.
The four heroes mentioned in the ballad were all folk Feng Shui psychics. Except for Nan Mian Epiphyllum, the other three were all men, and only Chen Chaoran was not married at the time.
Zhou Ying is very beautiful, but has a wild and willful personality, while Chen Chaoran has a calm personality. The two of them were not originally compatible personalities.
But at that time, everyone liked to make fun of them when they got together, thinking that a talented man and a beautiful woman were the best match.
Moreover, a Feng Shui psychic calculated from their faces that the two of them were destined to be entangled with each other for life, and neither could escape the other.
Except for the other three masters who were unanimously not optimistic about this destiny destined by God, all the other Feng Shui psychics admired him.
A scholar from the East said something at that time: Chao Ran and Miss Zhou were indeed destined to be married, but blessings and misfortunes depended on each other. This marriage was both a great blessing and a great calamity.
But since it is destined to be like this and you can't avoid it, there is no need to hide anymore. For many things, the more you avoid them, the worse the results will be.
It is better to obey God's will and do more good deeds to accumulate virtue. Maybe you can accumulate more blessings for future generations.
After the incident in western Sichuan, the Tianshi Mansion extended an olive branch to the four heroes at the same time and invited the four of them to enter the Tianshi Mansion at the same time. The other three unanimously refused, and the youngest Chen Chaoran agreed.
At that time, Chen Chaoran was young and vigorous, and he yearned for the Tianshi Mansion, an official institution affiliated with the capital, and believed that only by joining the Tianshi Mansion could he truly use his own ability to defend the common people.
Shortly after entering the Tianshi Mansion, Zhou Ying expressed his affection for Chen Chaoran. Zhou Ying's father, the previous chief heavenly master of the Tianshi Mansion, promised that as long as Chen Chaoran married Zhou Ying, the next chief heavenly master of the Tianshi Mansion would be the next one within three years.
The chief heavenly master is Chen Chaoran.
In Chen Chaoran's heart, ideals are far more important than the love of his children, so Chen Chaoran readily agreed without much thought.
The wedding was held grandly. After the wedding, although Zhou Ying was still willful and unruly, she was still considerate and gentle towards Chen Chaoran.
Zhou Ying likes children very much and has been actively preparing for pregnancy. One year after getting married, she gave birth to a daughter, Lian Ruowei's mother, Chen Yuefang.
It was also the third day after Zhou Ying gave birth to Chen Yuefang that a distant cousin of Chen Chaoran's husband had just died and came to seek refuge with him alone.
Zhou Ying had just given birth and needed someone to take care of her, so he left his distant cousin at the Chen family to work as a personal maid for Zhou Ying.
Chen Chaoran's cousin is now Chen's mother, Chen Jiayu.
Chen Jiayu is a very smart woman. Although she is Chen Chaoran's cousin, she has a closer relationship with Zhou Ying. Within half a year, she was able to coax Zhou Ying into treating her as her own sister.
She even made arrangements to introduce a partner to Chen Jiayu, but Chen Jiayu rejected her. She said that she had a good relationship with her late husband and did not want to marry again.
In the third year, Zhou Ying gave birth to another daughter, named Chen Yuehua.
Shortly after Yuehua was born, Zhou Ying's father died of illness. Fulfilling his promise to Chen Chaoran, Chen Chaoran successfully became the chief Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
After becoming the chief heavenly master, Chen Chaoran became even busier, and Zhou Ying became more dependent on Chen Jiayu.
Zhou Ying was worried that Chen Jiayu would no longer want to stay in the Chen family after getting married, so he once again proposed to introduce a partner to Chen Jiayu.
"Thank you, Madam, for your kindness. Jiayu doesn't want to marry again in this life. In fact, the fortune teller said that I was born a cuckold. I didn't dare to tell you and my cousin at that time because I was worried that my cousin would dislike my destiny and not want to take me in."
." Chen Jiayu then knelt down in front of Zhou Ying and confessed.
Zhou Ying laughed loudly and said: "Our Chen family is a Feng Shui family. If your appearance is really bad, we will naturally not take you in."
Having said this, Zhou Yingcai took a closer look at Chen Jiayu's face. After looking at it for a long time, Zhou Yingcai sighed and said: "But judging from your face, it is true that there is no marriage in this life. No wonder you will get married soon."
After her husband died, it was a marriage that should not have happened.
One fate, two fortunes, and three Feng Shui, you can't escape what you should have in your life, and you can't force what you don't have in your life.
In this case, you can stay with me with peace of mind, and when you are older, I can adopt a child to take care of you in old age. From now on, our Chen family will be your home."
Although Zhou Ying spoke eloquently to Chen Jiayu, in fact, she didn't see anything more than marriage in Chen Jiayu's face.
As the daughter of the chief heavenly master of the Tianshi Mansion, she is a natural loser in Fengshui and channeling. Although she is very interested in Fengshui and has been working hard since she was a child, she has always been stuck at the fifth level of the Yellow Rank.
